Sackman Airport Fly-In in Columbia, IL Is a Fall Tradition

Sackman Airport in Columbia, IL held it's annual fly-in today - a typical clear but windy fall day in southwest Illinois.  Among the machines on display were planes and automobiles, with a few trains also on the nearby Union Pacific tracks.  Here are some scenes from today's event:
